The evolution of bacteria on a "Mega-Plate" petri dish A list of antibiotic resistant bacteria is provided below. These bacteria have shown antibiotic resistance (or antimicrobial resistance). Gram positive Clostridioides difficile Clostridioides difficile is a nosocomial pathogen that causes diarrheal disease worldwide. Diarrhea caused by C. difficile can be life-threatening. Infections are ...
Multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDRGN bacteria) are a type of Gram-negative bacteria with resistance to multiple antibiotics. They can cause bacteria infections that pose a serious and rapidly emerging threat for hospitalized patients and especially patients in intensive care units . [ 1 ]
Resistant pneumococcal strains are called penicillin-resistant pneumococci (PRP), [51] penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (PRSP), [52] Streptococcus pneumoniae penicillin resistant (SPPR) [53] or drug-resistant Strepotococcus pneumoniae (DRSP). In 2015, in the US, there were an estimated 30,000 cases, and in 30% of them the strains ...
Iclaprim is an antibiotic drug candidate that is active against Gram positive organisms. [1] [2] It is administered intravenously.[3]: 3 In vitro, iclaprim is active against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA), strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae resistant to several common antibiotics, and some Gram-negative bacteria. [4]
Scientists assessed samples from 37 patients known to have drug-resistant bacteria, and sequenced the bug’s genome. “All the bacteria were shown to carry the genes that we know are associated ...
Pneumococcal infection is an infection caused by the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae. [1]S. pneumoniae is a common member of the bacterial flora colonizing the nose and throat of 5–10% of healthy adults and 20–40% of healthy children. [2]
In case you’re not familiar with it, walking pneumonia is a respiratory infection that's usually caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae bacteria. In the United States, cases increased in the late ...
So-called "walking pneumonia" is a respiratory tract bacterial infection caused by the bacteria Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae), according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
